    Would it be Khan/Maidana all over again, or would Khan use his head this time?

    I think khan vs maidana again, rios could definitely catch him and turn his lights out but he could also get schooled, he would certainly do better vs khan than vs guerrero or jmm at 140.

    I favour Rios. He matches up to the style of Khan's alot better.

    Khan would damage Rios and probably get him stopped late.

    Khan would win all 12 rounds without any trouble, really.

    Khans reach and hand speed will be too much for Rios. Khan UD in a though fight.
    Would not be surprised if Rios wins.

    khan decision 117-111, rios lacks the power to stop khan with few punches, only way he could do it is through accumulation of punches and don't think rios can dominate for a long enough period of time to do so.

    I assume Rios loses power coming up and might even lose speed

    Rios style is based on just being bigger and walking through punches to get inside and swarm

    Khan yes just lost to a swarmer inside guy.....but Petersen is much faster and much more skilled than Rios

    Khan is probably too big and too fast for Rios

    Khan that fought Peterson would run into trouble against Rios.
    But Khan has the skills to outbox Rios and carry the power to hurt him.

    after what i saw the other day, i think khan would probably hit him at will and after a heavy accumulation of punches would probably knock him out!!
